It will be interesting to see if they make an offer in the coming months. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Graham Bailey claimed on TBR: \u201cIn England we are thinking and talking about Marc Gu\u00e9hi, but in Europe a lot of people are talking about French star Dayot Upamecano, who was seriously considering the role at Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have spoken to officials from several Premier League clubs and they actually believe that Upamecano is more likely to stay than leave, but I can tell you that Bayern are very concerned that if an agreement is not reached with Bayern, an offer will be made for Upamecano in early 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City are all watching him very closely and they all rate him highly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chelsea_could_use_Dayot_Upamecano\"><\/span>Chelsea could use Dayot Upamecano<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea look vulnerable defensively and need more depth in that area of \u200b\u200bthe pitch. Most of their defenders have struggled with injury issues. The 27-year-old will add further quality and depth to the squad. <\/p>\n<p>He has performed very well for the German champions and has the qualities to succeed in the Premier League. The player has been linked with a move to England in the past, but it remains to be seen whether a move will materialize in the coming months. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upamecano_is_key_to_Liverpool\"><\/span>Upamecano is key to Liverpool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dayot Upamecano plays for Bayern Munich (Photo by Alexander Hassenstein\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the other hand, Liverpool also need more depth in defence. They have looked pretty poor at the back this season. They need to improve that area of \u200b\u200bthe pitch. Upamecano could be the ideal long-term replacement for compatriot Ibrahima Konate. Konate&#8217;s contract expires at the end of this season, so Liverpool need to fill his void. <\/p>\n<p>At 27 years old, he is at the peak of his career and the time is right for him to take on a new challenge. A move to England might be ideal. He has won the German league and may now seek a new challenge. <\/p>\n<p>Chelsea and Liverpool are among the biggest clubs in the world and it could be difficult for Upamecano to turn down the opportunity to join them. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea and Liverpool continue to be linked with defenders, with Dayot Upamecano being the latest name on their radar.
